Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) -
Chapter 383
The door was not closed.
There were two figures at the door, a man and a woman.
The man had a tall frame. He wore an expensive, black suit with gold-rimmed glasses, appearing to be in his fifties. The woman wore a dark blue dress and a white cardigan. Her hair was tied up, looking noble and graceful.
With just one glance, Sara recognized them.
They were none other than Trevor and Marissa.
They finally came!
It seemed that Hansen being in Wullen Town had already alerted them!
She didn't really like Marissa, but as for Trevor, she dared not give him the cold shoulder.
After all, he was the senior chairman of The Richards Group. He had great power and prestige in the business world. No matter what his intention was, it showed that he had attached great importance to her daughter. There were no parents who did not hope for a good life for their children.
"Sara, it's nice to see you." Trevor immediately noticed Sara, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze. At her side was a walking stick. Her face was slightly pale and an uneasy feeling could be seen in her eyes. A sense of guilt welled up in his heart.
The woman before his eyes was ageing quickly. He remembered that she used to be so elegant and dignified, giving off the temperament of a daughter from a rich family. However, the woman he was looking at, had wrinkles on her forehead and half of her hair had already turned white. It seemed that the death of her husband and her daughter's experience had completely crushed her.
He hurriedly took a step forward. With a polite and friendly smile on his face, he asked kindly, "Sara, do you still remember me?"
Sara narrowed her eyes as she calmly observed the man who had once been a well-known figure in the business world. The last time she saw him was at the reunion dinner in conjunction with the Thanksgiving party five years ago. After that, she never saw him again.
Five years later, when they met again, things had changed.
She smiled wryly and replied in a polite manner, "So, Mr. Trevor is here. Please have a seat."
"Sara, are you feeling better now?" Marissa was a smart woman. She knew that she came to ask Sara for a favour. After Trevor greeted her, she immediately walked up to her with a smile on her face and asked about her well-being.
Sara glanced at her, with a faint expression on her face. "Mrs. Richards, you've come to my humble abode as well. I'm really ashamed. This small courtyard of ours isn't worthy of your noble status.
As soon as those words were said, a trace of awkwardness flashed across Marissa's face. Of course, she understood what she meant. She instantly went along with her. Her face was plastered with a forceful smile.
"I'm really sorry. Bailey went out for groceries. It is really inconvenient for me to move around. So, I will not be able to get you two something to drink," Sara said to them politely and distantly.
"It's fine, it's fine." Trevor smiled. "Sara, you're not feeling well. Is there anything I can do for you?" Then, he looked at her glass, reached out for it, and was about to pour some water personally for her. "Trevor, let me do it. This should be done by women." Marissa had sharp eyes. How could she allow her husband to pour water for her? She quickly snatched the glass from his hand and walked to the kitchen. Sara didn't refuse and was just sitting down. Seeing that Trevor was still standing with things still in hand, she smiled and said, "Mr. Trevor, please have a seat. Make yourself at home." Trevor put down his things and sat down casually on the sofa.
"Sara, it's been so many years. Time really flies so fast. The children have already grown up and we're also getting old," Trevor said emotionally. He then looked at the surroundings in the house and said in regret, "This house looks somewhat shabby. Hansen has been here for quite some time, yet he hasn't changed the environment for you. What an ignorant child."
"No, Mr. Trevor. We were originally from a humble family. We are used to living with such a courtyard and feel that it is good enough. There is no need for us to accept charity from others." Sara did not appreciate his offer. She replied with an expression full of calmness, "It's just that I'm not sure why you're here today?"
Trevor had long prepared himself for Sara's lukewarm attitude. A woman like her was truly miserable, especially when she had lost her legs. To be able to continue living so peacefully was already not easy. If she were an ordinary woman, she might not have been able to last much longer.
When the incident happened back then, Richards Manor as their in-laws could only say that they were of little help, which made him feel uneasy.
"Sara, Marissa, and I are here today mainly to apologize for what happened in the past. That year, Jenna was married into the Richards family. As her father-in-law, I didn't fulfil my duty as an elder, or rather, I was prejudiced against her. To think about it, it was also due to my neglecting my duty. However, when I found out the truth, I had already fallen sick and didn't manage to prevent what had transpired later, making me feel guilty and uneasy. Today, I visit your house with the intention of begging you for forgiveness, and to ask you to put aside any presumptions you may have about us in your mind. Let's talk openly and honestly. From now on, we are a family. Letting the children live happily is our responsibility as their elders."
Trevor's words were euphemistic and sincere. He was truly sorry from the bottom of his heart. At the very least, when he saw Sara's dejected self, he did feel uneasy. At her most difficult moment, the Richards family had not been able to provide any help to her, be it mentally or physically, even when the fire had been caused by Norton. Although Hansen had tried to make up for it, it was still resolute. Not to mention that they were already divorced.
To any woman, such a blow really was not a good thing.
There was sorrow in Sara's smile. She did not have much to say to Trevor. After all, he too had not been doing well over the years. The reason she persisted was that she wanted to help her daughter strive for happiness. Her daughter would definitely follow them back. She understood that better than anyone else because she understood her daughter's thoughts.
"Mr. Trevor, let's talk about the reason you came to see me. Since what happened in the past is already over, there is no need to keep holding onto it." It was obvious what she meant. She was also trying to preserve Trevor's dignity.
What happened in the past was long gone. It was unnecessary to hold onto it and not let go. What she wanted to see was the future. The future of her daughter's happiness was what she cared the most about She needed their actions and promises.
Trevor was an intelligent man. He already understood what she meant. As expected, the Vivian was right!
"Sara, we came here today to visit you and our grandson. We also come on behalf of Old Madam. As you know, Old Madam has always valued Jenna and treated her as her own granddaughter, loving her more than she loves Hansen. Now that she heard that she has a great-grandson, she's on cloud nine. She's been up day and night, wanting to take a look at her great-grandson. Now, she's waiting at home, holding out hope for us to bring your whole family back. Old Madam promised that once all of you come back, she will immediately host the wedding for Hansen and Jenna. Please be rest assured. This time, our family will definitely pay attention to Jenna. Besides, Hansen loves her wholeheartedly. If he had made mistakes in the past, he was, after all, a young man. It is normal for them to be ignorant at times. However, since they had been through so many trials and hardships, we have reasons to believe that they will cherish each other's feelings, and live a peaceful and beautiful life." Trevor mentioned Vivian to express Richards family's sincerity, so that Sara could understand their intention and be rest assured.
Sara listened carefully. Her face gradually relaxed.
She had heard of Vivian's kindness towards Jenna. It seemed that she was part of the reason why Trevor and his wife would come.
As long as the Richards family valued her daughter, there would be no reason left for her to persist.
At that moment, Marissa came out with a glass of water. After placing the glass in front of Sara, she took Sara's hand with a smile on her face and said, "Sara, don't worry. I admit that I had been prejudiced against Jenna in the past, but I will never do it again. She did our family a favor and gifted us a healthy, chubby grandson. After all those affairs, I have seen her true colors and have completely approved of her I hope you can let go of the past grudges. Let's give the children a chance. Let's help make their wedding happen and give our grandson a complete home."
After saying all that, she was still worried. "Sara, you don't have to doubt our sincerity. Grandma has always treated Jenna well. Trevor and I have already discussed and decided that after the children get married, we will travel around the world and hand over everything to them. We won't bother them anymore. Jenna is very capable. We absolutely believe her."
As the saying goes, "A prodigal son who returned home is worth more than gold." Sara was actually satisfied with the way Hansen was treating Jenna at the moment. She just wanted to make sure her daughter gets more assurance, and also provide her with a way out.
Trevor and Marissa visiting her personally could also be considered as showing her respect. When the conditions were right, success would be sure to follow. There was no reason for her to continue taking it to heart. The happiness of her daughter was what mattered to her the most. If they continued to drag on, her daughter would be unhappy as well.
"This is the children's own affairs. If Jenna is willing to go back, then so be it. I have no objection. As a parent, I only hope for my daughter to be happy. I hope that you will remember what you said today, and don't let Jenna down. These words will always be engraved in my heart." Sara breathed a sigh of relief. There was a smile on her face. Her tone was also softer.
"Of course. Don't worry, we definitely will." Only then did their heart fall back into place. They immediately promised and guaranteed each other.
